The whole west side of the Herăstrău Park is given over to a massive outdoor museum, which has more than 270 authentic historic buildings. Made from stone, wood or cob (clay and straw), these have been carefully dismantled and put back together at this site and come from all corners of the country, from Banat in the West to Moldova in the east and ...
A building of absurd magnitude, the Parliamentary Palace hosts Romania’s Parliament, but also perfectly encapsulates Nicolae Ceaușescu’s megalomania. At 365,000 square metres, it’s the largest administrative building in the world, intended as a residence, and despite containing reception halls, museums and government offices and the parliament hall...
A performance venue extraordinaire, the Neoclassical Romanian Athenaeum is the home of the George Enescu Philharmonic Orchestra. Wrapped in gardens, this magnificent structure was completed in 1888 and given a thorough restoration to save it from collapse in 1992. Under a grand dome embellished with gilded stuccowork, the circular concert hall seat...
A hint of what Bucharest looked like before the Second World War, Lipscani was the place to do business in the city between the Middle Ages and the 1800s. Some of the street names still recall the guilds that were once based along them: Blănari (Furriers’ Street) or Șelari (Saddlers’ Street). This small pocket was one of the only parts of Bucharest...
First opened in 1906, the history of this highly-regarded folk museum was interrupted in the 20th century by the Communist regime, but it reopened in 1990 no more than six weeks after Ceaușescu died. In those intervening years it had been a museum to communism, and you can still view a small exhibition on collectivisation in the basement preserved ...
The largest park in Bucharest borders the city to the north, and much of its area is taken up by the 74-hectare Herăstrău Lake. On the Colentina River, this large body of water is partly man-made having been formed when riverside marshes were drained in the 1930s. The lake has a six-kilometre perimeter path favoured by joggers in summer, and in thi...
Arguably the finest religious building in Bucharest, Stavropoleos Church has a gorgeous facade that has multifoil arches painted with arabesque foliate and tendril patterns and held up by beautiful capitals. Above are painted medallions of saints, and there’s much more painting inside in the form of stone frescoes and a breathtaking iconostasis. Th...
After King Michael I abdicated following the Second World War, the Neoclassical Royal Palace on Revolution Square has been the headquarters of Romania’s National Museum of Art. The collections were damaged during the revolution in 1989, but there’s still a feast for art lovers in galleries for European Art, Romanian Medieval Art and Modern Romanian...
South of Union Square is a small rise where Romania’s Orthodox religious institutions can be found in eye-catching buildings. The Romanian Patriarchal Cathedral is one, and we’ll cover that next. But this stands in an ensemble with the Palace of the Patriarchate, with its striking Ionic columns. For 90 years from its completion in 1907 the palace w...
The destination for a pilgrimage on Palm Sunday, the Patriarchal Cathedral was founded by the Prince of Wallachia, Constantin Șerban in the 1650s. The building has come through restorations in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, so not much of the original remains, while the current design is based on Curtea de Argeș Cathedral in the centre of the c...
Thermen Bucharest features Romania’s most extensive sauna complex, Europe’s biggest urban beach and the largest greenhouse in Romania - over 800,000 plants, more than 1,500 palm trees, countless orchids and many other unique species including a Tree of Life (Ficus Religiosa).
Apr 26, 2024 · Bucharest, city and municipality, the economic, administrative, and cultural centre of Romania. It lies in the middle of the Romanian plain, on the banks of the Dâmbovița, a small northern tributary of the Danube.
